About us

In 2002 Akademikliniken had its first international symposium, this was a relatively small meeting focusing on breast implant surgery. Thanks to very good response and demand for more meetings we have been stimulated to continue with these symposiums, which now have grown to become the largest aesthetic medicine meeting in Scandinavia.
